Warisnik (culture)
The Warisnik homeland was one of stark beauty, a cold land where the great primeval forests met the vast tundra and steppe of the north. Wolves the height of a man, great herds of mammoths, and all manner of shaggy beasts once roamed their lands. Because of this the Warisnik were known as skilled hunters, similar to their more primitive Curgerski cousins to the north. However primordial their lands seemed however the Warisnik were a settled people, living in fortified wooden settlements on the boundaries of the tundra. Their brave chiefs would lead hunting expeditions out on the plains bringing back all manner of strange tusks and pelts. While in halls decorated with mammoth bone brave warriors would tell tales of the fearsome beasts they met. The Warisnik eventually learned to tame some of these beasts, and the occasional working mammoth or leashed sabrecat would not be out of place in a Warisnik camp.
Today the Warisnik are a mournful people, their camps filled with songs and legends of their lost home. Although traveling with Cenware and his coalition southwards through the chaos wrought by the Frodbrokna, many Warisnik soon broke from the greater coalition, with many settling on the barren plains of Vyshtanka or in the vales of the Black mountains. Although safe from the Fog for now, their new lands are but a pale reflection of home and the great hunts of the past are now just a memory.
